Welcome to the NeXTSTEP Front End for Gnuplot, a general purpose
graphing and plotting application capable of plotting mathematical
expressions or points from a data file, in 2 or 3 dimensions. This
app is entirely self-contained and requires no prior installation or
knowledge of Gnuplot.
This version supports more Gnuplot features than previous versions and
fixes many bugs. It is also based on Gnuplot 3.3, which is still in
beta as of March 1993 but, in a 10th beta release, is very solid. (As
soon as Gnuplot 3.3 is officially released, I will update this app
with the latest sources.)
Gnuplot.app adds NeXTSTEP features to Gnuplot, taking advantage of
services, drag-n-drop, standard font and print panels, and inspectors.
None of the original gnuplot source was changed for this app (aside
from minor changes like renaming main() and adding a custom terminal
type), so the app can also be run from the command line just as you
would run the original command-line Gnuplot -- there is no need to
install two versions of Gnuplot.
** Note that Gnuplot.app now requires NeXTSTEP 3.0 **
The file package should have unpacked into a folder called Gnuplot
which contains the following:
Gnuplot.app -- The precompiled app
INTRO -- An introduction
NeXTSTEP -- The source for the app
Original_3.3b10 -- Many of the files distributed with Gnuplot 3.3 are
necessary for building the NeXTSTEP app, but they
are included for completness. Gnuplot
documentation and supporting files not pertaining
to this app are here as well.
Samples -- Some sample documents for the NeXTSTEP app
The Gnuplot front end is provided in hope that it will be
useful for something and with absolutely no warranty of any kind.
Please see the Copying panel in the Info menu. Send questions,
comments, bug reports, and suggestions to the address below.
Enjoy,
Rob
